This database is amazing, however I do have a warning.
I totally agree with the idea that there is a level of spiritual existence that isn’t obvious to our regular senses and can’t be measured with our current technology.
Experiences like near death experiences, astral projection and DMT trip experiences have been documented and seem to overlap and for me this verifies the existence of astral/spiritual dimensions.
When looking at a collection of knowledge on spirituality, it’s important to realize that not all the entities that exist in the spiritual realm are going to be communicating the truth to us.
Spiritual disinformation is a very real phenomenon. Some of the people who write spiritual books are channeling spiritual knowledge directly from higher level entities. Some of these entities are demons and tricksters and they are feeding us a narrative that benefits them or amuses them in some way.
I can’t tell you what’s true or not true, all I can do is tell you to be careful of what you read and what you practice.
I will further warn, take this stuff in small doses. Contact with evil is real, and changes humans. We don't notice the change in ourselves, nor are we (usually) sure what of this stuff has any actual evil power vs what is just mortal ideas. If possible, inform a close friend of what you're undertaking and ask them to point out any changes in you they see; then LISTEN
Can you speak from experience? You say contact with evil is real, but can’t you say the same about contact with good forces (like just reading the Bible) as well?
If you go into either with a skeptical and rational mind, how much power can the text really have? I’m thinking of a staunch atheist who sits down and reads the Bible. How many of them convert afterwards?
I absolutely speak from experience. And the text itself has no power. Contact with good and evil both shape humans. It changes us. Some texts may facilitate that.
So limiting doses of this stuff, following up with reading the Bible, especially favorite and powerful sections like Psalm 91, 23, Ephesians 2 is a good approach. Kinda like r/eyebleach had a purpose after exposure to particularly vile graphics.
Some people are "third eye blind;" does this insulate them from evil as effectively as good? Idk. But I suspect people like that aren't likely to be interested in reading this stuff.
One key difference is that powers of darkness operate on a limited budget, whereas God is omnipresent. This by no means makes us immune to evil, and this fact is increasingly obvious just by observation. I point out that everybody's pissed because evil is becoming more prominent in our world.
So there is paradox here: hopefully those interested in this want to learn how to combat evil! Just be aware that evil fights back, first by getting inside our head. Learning about it requires skill to not be influenced by evil. "Small doses" is a good first instruction :)

Excellent advice!

Step two is follow up with goodness.
No more prominent, just more obvious to eyes, ears, hearts and minds that have become opened
